Hello all, new poster. Got a new SX50HS and posted some example snapshots of the zoom ability of the camera in my gallery entitled "Cape May." All pictures were taken at Cape May, NJ. I really, really like this camera. Debated on the Nikon P510 and the Panasonic FZ200. In the end, bought the canon because it was the most affordable camera for me after a coupon at Staples for 25% off. I am still learning how to post pictures here on DPREVIEW. Take care.
